If you're an English major, you might see some great and deep symbolism in the fact that we took Pace to the womb-like waters of a mineral spa almost exactly nine months to the day after he was born.  Today is his nine-month birthday and it's almost unbelievable how quickly the time has flown - and I know it will only go faster.

Did I ever share that cool explanation of why time seems to go faster as you're older?  It's not just your mind playing tricks on you - there's a logical explanation.  When you're 10, a year is 1/10th of your entire lifetime.  When you're 20, a year is 1/20th.  When you're 50, it's 1/50th and so on.  So yes, each year that you're alive will seem shorter because it is a smaller fraction of your overall time being alive relatively speaking.  Kinda cool (and kinda depressing.) 

But anyhew, Pace was nine months in gestation and now he's nine months old and I'm not sure what that means but I'm sure it means something.  Here's a shot of Pace, Shea and I at the Mineral Spa. 

(Note to self: always remember to change the batteries in the digital camera or else the only shot you might be lucky enough to get is one of your son rubbing his eyes instead of smiling happily at the camera.)
